The Boys' and Girls' Club Room Collection, numbering at 

 present 143 volumes, and the N. Y, Botanical Garden purchase, 

 consisting of 57 volumes, plus a few parts and pamphlets, are still 

 to be catalogued. 



I should add that the library could not possibly have ac- 

 complished the amount of work it did, with the changes in the 

 staff during the year, had it not been for the trained assistant 

 (Mrs. Marion Rust Trilling) we were fortunate in securing for 

 the few months over the summer. 



In summarizing the work of the year I have not mentioned 

 certain kinds of work which necessarily must go on if the physical 

 up-keep of the library is to be preserved. For instance, 217 

 black letter labels for the agricultural experiment station stacks 

 were made during the year and almost 200 others for various 

 shelves and files. Over 200 old packages of publications were re- 

 wrapped. About 300 volumes were moved to the Overflow 

 Collection, and dummies, of course, were made for each title 

 removed from the regular shelves.
